Seeing Chang Hai and Lin Shu's anxious looks, Li Siwen just smiled faintly and replied calmly: "You don't have to worry about the market. You just need to do two things these days."
He paused slightly and continued: "First, Lin Shu is responsible for production. If you don't have enough manpower, go directly to the job market to recruit workers. I need you to produce all our raw materials within a week."
"Second, Chang Hai will live in the warehouse from today on and take good care of our goods. That will be our lives."
"Trust me, everything will be fine."
Seeing Li Siwen's serious look, although Lin Shu still had many opinions to express, he did not speak in the end because he could see that this man was under greater pressure than any of them. He could speak out what was in his heart, but
Li Siwen will not be forced to do it.
"Okay, let's get to work!"
After Li Siwen made arrangements, he lay down on the sofa, while Lin Shu and Chang Hai began to get busy.
In the following days, news of the Yangdu factory fire began to spread, and rumors spread. Some people even said that they would never be able to eat Yangdu ham sausage again. There were also rumors that because Yangdu ham was no longer in supply, other brands of ham sausage
There is also a risk of shortages.
Such news was of great benefit to Feng Yuhui. His ham sausage became more and more popular, and he monopolized the entire Caozhou market in just a few days.
And because of the spread of the news about the Yangdu factory fire, the overall sales of ham sausages almost doubled, and all the profits generated went into Feng Yuhui's pocket.
What does it mean to make money like water? This is the case for Feng Yuhui today. Even if this opportunity is only short-lived, it is enough for him to make a lot of money.
On the eighth day of the Yangdu Group fire, the Caozhou area began to resume the supply of Yangdu ham sausage. The previous rumors were self-defeating.
But even if supply is restored, it will be difficult to regain all the previous market. In particular, in order to preserve the market, Feng Yuhui not only increased investment and production, but also gradually improved the quality of raw materials.
Feng Yuhui has tasted the sweetness of dominating the market, and of course he will not easily let Yangdu recover. In his opinion, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
People were fighting fiercely, but at this time, Li Siwen was still shipping a thousand sticks every day, like a lazy drunkard, making it difficult for people to understand his operations.
On the evening of November 22, the ninth day after the Yangdu factory fire, Li Siwen received a call from Lu Shuhang, who invited him to drink tea at the Qianlong Tea House.
Qianlong Tea House is a relatively famous leisure place in Caozhou. Some officials and wealthy people will come here to spend money from time to time.
The decoration of the teahouse is very special, with hollow wooden carved panels and small spaces separated by small spaces. The Chinese style decoration has a Western style.
When Li Siwen arrived here, he just walked into the hall and saw Lu Shuhang sitting not far away. He smiled slightly, walked over and sat opposite.
"Brother, you are so elegant, you actually invited me here for tea." Li Siwen said with a smile.
"Can you still laugh?" Lu Shuhang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Siwen and asked.
"You invited me to drink tea. If I don't laugh, will I still cry?" Li Siwen continued to laugh.
When Lu Shuhang heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "It's so easy to just take care of yourself and worry so little. You're not in a hurry, but I'm actually worried about you."
"Brother, what are you worried about?" Li Simming asked knowingly.
Lu Shuhang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The Yangdu factory fire is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you small ham processing factories. When I heard the news, I felt that God was helping you, but what?
?”
"Feng Yuhui can seize such a good opportunity, why can't you, who is so smart, fail to seize it? Little brother, you have disappointed me so much!"
Li Siwen smiled slightly: "Brother, it's not yet time."
"Not yet? Are you too confident?" Lu Shuhang took a deep breath and said: "Feng Yuhui took advantage of the Yangdu fire in the past few days to make a lot of money. He not only dominated the market during this period, but also used
The returned funds increased investment, and I heard that he recently ordered a more advanced processing machine from Japan."
"The reason why he did this is undoubtedly because he wants to compete with Yangdu Ham. He is doing it with great success, but you are standing still."
"Brother, do you think Feng Yuhui and Yangdu Ham are better than each other?" Li Siwen saw that Lu Shuhang was a little excited and asked.
"Even if he doesn't have to fight, he can still keep a part of the market. His current investment will be earned back sooner or later." Lu Shuhang said firmly.
"Brother is right, Feng Yuhui thinks the same way, so he will continue to increase investment in order to gain a foothold in Caozhou, but if I were him, I would never do this." Li Siwen shook his head and said.
Lu Shuhang frowned: "Why?"
"Yangdu ham has been sold across the country for five years, and the market is almost in a monopoly. Its assets are measured in hundreds of millions. Even if a fire breaks out and the loss is nearly 100 million a day, it can be put back into production in just one week.
, and like Feng Yuhui, not to mention that he only made money for a few days, even if he made it for several years or decades, fighting Yangdu is like an ant fighting an elephant." Li Siwen laughed: "If I were Feng Yuhui, I would be better off.
If you take this opportunity to produce safely and compete with an elephant, you are asking for trouble."
Lu Shuhang frowned even more when he heard Li Siwen's discouraging words.
"Li Siwen, this is not like you. In my eyes, your goals must be beyond ordinary people. Are you going to compromise before you even try?"
"Brother, sometimes we have to see the reality clearly and not be dazzled by interests. Greed is a taboo in business." Li Siwen paused again after saying this, and continued: "If I put it another way, you might understand.
, this cake of ham sausage has been targeted by someone for a long time. Seeing how profitable the Yangdu factory is, who is not jealous? This time the Yangdu factory has a fire, there must be another elephant taking the opportunity to deal with the Yangdu Group."
"Another elephant?" Lu Shuhang was stunned.
"That's right, maybe there's more than one, maybe two. In other words, the only ones that can deal with the Yangdu Group are elephants, not ants like us." Li Siwen took a sip of tea and said, "Two or three elephants are fighting.
, what do you think will happen to the ant next to you? It may be seriously injured by the shock, or it may be trampled to death. Shopping mall competition is definitely not something that little people like us can participate in. All we can do is seize the opportunity, little by little.
To grow stronger, rather than like Feng Yuhui, who overestimates his capabilities - an ant can overwhelm an elephant."
Lu Shuhang was stunned, and he was indescribably shocked. He already understood what Li Siwen meant. The metaphor of an ant shaking an elephant can be said to be extremely appropriate.
"But, before everything happens, do you really think it will develop as you expected?" Lu Shuhang said solemnly: "At least, there are no signs of the second and third elephants coming forward yet."
